Kewell joins Melbourne Heart

Melbourne Heart has announced that former Melbourne Victory player Harry Kewell has signed for the team for the 2013/14 A-League season.

Kewell last played a full season for Victory and then left for the United Kingdom for personal reasons.

I think this is a good deal for the Heart and I hope they will be able to capitalise and increase membership even if it is for the next season only.

If the Socceroos qualify for the Brazil 2014 World Cup then it will become even more interesting as I think Kewell's main aim is to play well enough to be in the 2014 World Cup squad.

I am looking forward to the first match of the season when Victory play Heart in the Melbourne derby. Its going to be interesting to see Kewell playing for the Heart when two seasons ago he would have have been wearing blue.

Melbourne Heart is saying that Kewell has not been signed as a marquee player and so it means they could be other big name players coming to the Heart for next season.
